Satlada is a seven stringed pearl necklace of Indian origin.[1] It traditionally has 465 pearls embedded in it. It can also be set with emeralds, diamonds and rubies.[2][3]

Made in Basra, Iraq for the Nizams of Hyderabad

Some of the pearls are so large they look like small eggs, or outsized peas.[4] Formerly mainly used in royal families, it is today often chosen as wedding jewelry.[5][1]
